Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
The administration of diphenhydramine (Benadryl) causes drowsiness, and the patient should not operate machinery, such as driving. The patient should not combine diphenhydramine with alcohol due to central nervous system depression. The patient will not need to limit sodium with this medication. The patient should adhere to the dosing schedule and not take the medication every 2 hours.
